After the results of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz can take fourth place in the individual competition, which will be the best result of his career. The Ferrari driver says that for him the position in the championship is not particularly important, and that the battle with Mercedes for second place in the constructors’ championship is much more important.
Carlos Sainz: “This year we have had ups and downs. All in all a good year for me, but at the same time a bit disappointing because we didn’t achieve the goals we set for ourselves this year. However, we managed to understand the car’s characteristics, improve it and drive several strong races.
What specific place I will take in the personal competition at the end of this year is not important. If I come fourth, fifth or sixth, my life won’t change. But if we talk about the tasks for this weekend, then of course I will try to get fourth place in the championship and help the team in the constructors’ championship.
There will continue to be a very close fight between us and Mercedes, but this has been the case all year long. If we talk about the characteristics of the track, they should suit Red Bull and McLaren better than Ferrari or Mercedes. We have a difficult weekend ahead of us.”
